Heat protectants are essential in any hairstylists' kit, and the newest innovative formulas double as leave-in conditioners, detanglers, and stylers too. Applying a heat protectant spray, oil, or cream can help repair and prevent this damage, even on color-treated hair.
What does a heat protectant do?
Heat protectants add a protective barrier between your hair cuticle and your styling tool and work to prevent breakage, fight frizz, and smooth your cuticle making your hair look soft and shiny. This protective barrier allows hair to heat up slowly, rather than suddenly, which prevents hair damage. It will also help smooth the cuticle and leave hair looking shiny and healthy
There’s no need to apply a lot of it on your hair, just be sure you use enough product to apply to the mid-shaft through the ends of your hair. Focus on those ends, which tend to be more susceptible to damage.
Before selecting the perfect heat protectant know your hair type. If you have fine hair you may want to look for a lightweight heat protectant to prevent product buildup versus if you have thick, very dense hair you may want to look into an oil.
Each product below is a little different, but the goal of protecting your hair against heat damage remains the same.
With heat protecting and strengthening ingredients like xylose, coriander oil and chamomile with an invigorating aromatherapy blend of pear, rose and sandalwood, it’s not hard to see why this protecting spray boasts a devout following.

it’s a great heat protectant spray that's suitable for all hair types, though we especially recommend it for straight and wavy hair due to its lightweight and non-greasy formula.
